it's my dad's 1926 model t. he built it from a rusty shell and did all work himself, including body work and paint. it somehow has a 302 in that tiny bay.

WOW! That old T model is a show stopper. Tell your dad I am very impressed. I had a '31 Model A at one point and absolutely loved that old car.

Sweet T... nice TFS heads... Stang looks like body work is comin right along too.. how long till its running? We are shootin for sometime in November to start the Cleveland in the Cougar.. Will be fun to see who gets it running first..

Always wanted to build a rod, would prefer a 41 ******, but a pre 32 T would be just as good.. Everyone and thier brother has a Deuce now..

thanks. my dad has had 2 surgeries in the past 7 months or so to fix slipped disc problems in his spine. therefore, body work has been halted. so we decided to jump on the engine while he is out of commission, since he can just kind of supervise and tell me what to do. the engine will be turnkey ready as soon as i clean up the intake manifold and bolt it on. we're shooting for having the car completely finished by next summer. once my dad's healed up we'll get back to work on the body.

also, every show we go to we never see anything pre 30's. hell, pre 40's is even rare. we just need to get some upholstery for the interior and that car is done.
